It is fairly easy to remove the resizable feature of the textbox in Safari browser. If you have still not noticed a small resizable icon is displayed for textbox in Safari browser. I love it and makes easy while writing long emails and articles. Well at the software development side, the testers raise this lovely feature as inconsistency amongst the browsers. So here is an easy way to reduce the defects by one.

<textarea style="resize:none;“>I am not a resizable textarea, any more.</textarea>

Now that we are so damn tied up at work and we don’t find time for our families, let alone God. Here comes a unique service which would do all the prayers for you. Check out Information Age Prayer (http://informationageprayer.com/). Pay only $5 per month and give the task of praying to Lord to someone else. 

The site does caution that, “As with all prayer, the final results are up to God as everything follows his will. We make no claims regarding the efficacy of the service.”

Lets understand how to create a two dimensional javascript arrays. First create a singular list of arrays

var country0StateList = new Array("Country0-State0","Country0-State1","Country0-State2","Country0-State3");
var country1StateList = new Array("Country1-State0","Country1-State1","Country1-State2","Country1-State3");
var country2StateList = new Array("Country2-State0","Country2-State1","Country2-State2","Country2-State3");
var country3StateList = new Array("Country3-State0","Country3-State1","Country3-State2","Country3-State3");


Create an array of arrays with

var countries = new Array(country0StateList,country1StateList,country2StateList,country3StateList);

Voila, the variable countries now is a two dimensional array.

Do you know there is an easy hack to watch high definition (HD) video on Youtube? Simply add &fmt=22 at the end of the url in the address bar while you are watching a video on youtube.

&fmt=22

If youtube has not already processed the HD version of the video, it might take approx 15 mins to the video HD playback. HD or high quality video are those that have 720 progressive scans (720p). They are ideal to playback on resolution monitors such as 1280×720. Youtube also converts the HD video to H.246 for playback on TiVo and Iphones.

However to play the HD Video you need to have faster processor and enough RAM on your system.

Google adds another feather to its cap with the introduction of SMS service called SMS search. To search and get results via SMS, send the keywords to the number 9-77-33-00000. To get to know the latest cricket score send relevant keyword such as “cricket” or “Cri” to 9-77-33-00000 and wait for the reply SMS with the result of the keywords. And another example… the user can send an SMS “restaurants indira nagar Bangalore” and have the list of restaurants in that area sent to him/her via the SMS service.

This service will be available across 34 cities in the country which will include Mumbai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Chennai, Delhi and others. The service is currently available on both GSM and CDMA networks. Normal SMS rates apply according to the service package provided by the service provider.

In my previous project I came across this lightweight javascript framework called JQuery - a free and a open source software. After couple of coding I literally fell in love with it. It is amazingly fast and simple to understand. JQuery emphasizes interaction between javascript and HTML. I’ve tried my hands on YUI Framework, but JQuery is truly easier to code. JQuery was relased in Jan 2006 at a BarCamp by John Resig.

JQuery exists as a single JavaScript file and that single file contains all the common DOM, Event, Effects and Ajax functions.

I intend to do few tutorials on this site in which I can emphasize and illustrate more convincingly.

Here is the code that will help us to determine if flash is installed on the browser. To know if flash is installed in IE, we need to get around it using VB Script. The reason:

IE does not populate the available plugins in navigator.plugins array. The plugin array is always empty irrespective of installed plugins. The only way we can check if the plugin is installed in IE is by using the createObject method available in VBScript. Read the rest of this entry »
